“It’s going really good, we’ve been really happy. A lot of people are showing up every night and the shows themselves have been going great.

“Every night seems to feel like a bigger success in terms of a well-executed or well-performed, in our opinion, live show.”

Indie popsters The Drums hail from Brooklyn, New York, and are the new darlings of the indie scene over here.

“September last year was the first time we came over to London and played a couple of shows,” recalls Connor.

“It seemed really fast in London, people getting excited about it.

“A lot of people were telling us things that were likely to happen to us. In December we had an idea this year would be pretty crazy but none of us could have predicted the extent of it.

“The touring has been so extensive. We haven’t had much time at home at all. After this tour we are going to stay in New York for about a month though. In January we are going to work towards writing the next record.

“If we tried to write it four months ago we might have felt a little pressure. A lot of things have taken place to bring us to a different level than we have been in previously this year, a different state of mind.

“We had a guitar player (Adam Kessler) who left the band, an American tour that was pretty lengthy and pretty bare bones in terms of the way we did it.

“That tour took place right after that other member quit and the three of us had an opportunity and I just feel we fell into the stride with the three of us and it is more productive and beneficial to the band in the long run.

“We’ve written two songs already for the next record, and having two done alleviates any pressure that may have been placed on us.”
